And I had just convinced myself not to buy pro.

[delishcaek]

I hope I can grab a DualSense, looks great, better than any game themed one.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Yeah, these numbered PS5 Pro 30th anniversary consoles will sell insanely fast.

Well that's my cornflakes well and truly pissed on! I would've bought two dualsense controllers, charging station and the PS5 Pro covers.

 

[saintjules]

One per household, you mofo

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Called it. But fuck Sony for this limited run Fomo bullshit. Make it a seasonal sku.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

You might know the answer to this. I got the disc drive, ready for the PS5 Pro pre-orders. Now about these colored cover plates from Sony...
Can you replace the cover plate on the attachable disc drive? Or does using a separate disc drive on your PS5 Pro mean you are stuck with white?

I wouldn't mind too much, just wondering...

Yes, they even add a disc drive cover in the anniversary color in all the bundles.

---

bets on how much this will cost?

I am going with $1500 for the Pro. Just a tad over double the price of the standard "cheap" pro.

 

[Rocinante618]

I want to live in that reality where this is the normal, mass produced PS5 and Pro, I mean fuck, why can't I have cool things in my timeline?

 

[Audiophile]

Revised lineup like this would've been nice:

$349 - PS5 Slim 1TB
$399 - PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary 2TB Special Edition (Available for 1 Year)
$499 - PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary 2TB Numbered Limited Edition + Stand & Special Extras (12,300 Units)

$549 - PS5 Pro 1TB
$599 - PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary 2TB Special Edition (Available for 1 Year)
$699 - PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary 2TB Numbered Limited Edition + Stand & Special Extras (12,300 Units)

$99 - Universal Disc Drive for PS5 Slim & PS5 Pro


This is gonna be a scalper's dream at 12,300 units.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Wow I've never seen GAF do a 180 this quickly.

If you are gonna rip us off? We appreciate you doing it with no mercy and reckless abandon.

 

[Certinty]

Went from laughing at the £800 cost of the Pro and never wanting to even touch it anywhere near that price to willing to pay a good £900 for this one.

 

[DeepEnigma]

If you are gonna rip us off? We appreciate you doing it with no mercy and reckless abandon.

 

[bender]

Hopefully one of you fucks misclicks on the normal version so I can snag one on PS Direct.

@Topher is old and dumb so probably him.

Fixed that for you.

 

[analog_future]

I really want that DualSense Edge

 

[MikeM]

damn

Is this real??? I hope there are game screenshots on the back too.

Holy shit. That's going to be EXPENSIVE.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I don't know why Sony got rid of the multicolour logo, looks better than the bland white version.

They should bring back a modern take on the PS1 start up theme at some point too.

 

[Euler007]

Currently tapping into all my connections to get one, it's a reaaaaal long shot

I assume this is happening in real time at the backoffice of a Gamestop. You do what you have to do, I respect that.

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Fine.
I'll bite the bullet.

 

[DryvBy]

Only 12K units will be sold of the pro so good luck getting one.

If they had a disc drive they would have shown it.

They don't but I updated the thread showing a cover for the drive.

 

[Rob_27]

How much extra?

Looks well tasty!

 

[Alebrije]

12300, it's a shame hope they do a second batch because no way in México Will be Able to.get one

 

[TonberrysKnife]

THAT DUALSENSE IS MINE.

[LordCBH]

Sony, can you stop trying to go digital only for FIVE MINUTES?!

 

[Bernardougf]

Fuck... now they got me ... mtf

 

[skit_data]

Even sex toys are included! What a bundle!

 

[Lunarorbit]

I don't know why Sony got rid of the multicolour logo, looks better than the bland white version.

That's one of the things that I've wished they'd do for over a decade. I'd love to have the old Sony logo start screen and sound before it transitions into the regular ui.

I already have 2 controllers and have no need for a edge. I might take apart my ps5 controller this winter and paint it matte grey and buy a colored ps home button. Doesn't seem too hard

 

[Cyborg]

With only 12.300 Pros on sale.....what are the chances? You can claim here that you want one but we are all fcked. I dont understand Sony, this was THE way to sell the Pro.

 

[emivita]

With only 12.300 Pros on sale.....what are the chances? You can claim here that you want one but we are all fcked. I dont understand Sony, this was THE way to sell the Pro.

Would be fun if $1,230 is the price. Wonder how many people are gonna buy it.

 

[Javi97]

Would they make a lot of money selling millions of units of this because they only made 12,300?

 

[Clear]

Yeah... do want.

I thought I was out... then they pulled me back in! Bastards!

 

[Codeblew]

Not going to bother trying for the Pro with only 12300 of them. I might go for a controller though along with my normal Pro pre-order.

 

[jshackles]

If one of those bundles had included the disc drive, I might have been able to overcome the mental hurdle I have with this system and actually bite the bullet. Instead, I'm just left with "I don't want to bother fucking with this".

Good luck to everyone trying to get one of those 12,000 systems though!

 

[KaiserBecks]

Why does this have to be limited? Why not simply offer covers and controllers in that color…

 

[Ristifer]

Son of a bitch, I want one. Won't be able to actually get it, but I'll drool over the pictures of it at least.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Not going to bother trying for the Pro with only 12300 of them. I might go for a controller though along with my normal Pro pre-order.

Is it too much to ask Sony to break up the normal pro preorders and this LE preorder so the website doesnt fold under the weight of scalpers trying to snag that LE?

 

[tTHANOSs]

Okay I want the controller and portal. The pro bundle would be cool but I would fine with just the plates. I already have a portal so would have to find a way to sell that one.

 

[finalflame]

It would cost ~$930 MSRP

I could see $899.

 

[sachos]

The mad lads actually did it wtf. Looks amazing. Still what an asshole thing to do, could have done this for the base PS5 Pro look and people would have not been that mad at the price lol.

 

[Audiophile]

They should have a full suite of startup options on PS5 ranging from PS1 SCE, PS1, PS1+PS1 SCE, PS2, PS3, PS3 Slim, PS4, PS5 & PSP.

With clean but faithfully remastered visuals and the ability to mix and match the sound and visuals from any of the options, as well abridged versions or no startup at all (SSD...).

Same with menu background music and UI SFX.

 

[ShirAhava]

12300 isn't just the number of pro bundles its also the price

 

[Cyborg]

Would be fun if $1,230 is the price. Wonder how many people are gonna buy it.

I mean the bundle will be around 1200 Euros if not more.

• € 800 for the Pro
• € 180 for the Edge
• € 80 for the dualsense
• € 60 for the disc cover
• € 120 (if you want a disc discdrive)

Spoiler

if you are from USA I can sum that up for you

 

[acidagfc]

Why is this not the default color scheme? This looks so much cooler than the default white one.

 

[saintjules]

Not sure if I missed it, but according to the blog, only the base PS5 digital will be available to pre-order in stores on Oct. 10th?

The language is indicating that the Pro version of this will only be exclusive to PS Direct. Just a bit confused since there will be participating retailers in regions where PS Direct isn't available that will take pre-orders for the Pro.

 

[Punished Miku]

So is this actually more expensive? Just for gray?

 

[ManaByte]

I could see $899.

$999.

 

[saintjules]

This is gonna be a scalper's dream at 12,300 units.

I thought Sony had created preventative measures on PS Direct to keep scalpers at bay with that?
